Introduction

The postgraduate course Entrepreneurship was launched in 2000 as a result of the desire and need to build a non-traditional academic program, which, combining theory and practice, will attract young enterprising people and help them train for personal entrepreneurial activities and the development of the entrepreneurial economy. The program of this study is based on MBA programs at business schools in Europe and the USA, with an emphasis on a holistic approach and the development of entrepreneurial competencies of individuals (proactivity, innovation and responsibility/taking risks). The postgraduate university study Entrepreneurship is intended for those who want to acquire new knowledge and skills necessary to deal with global changes in the environment, and for starting and managing business ventures, for those who want to improve their entrepreneurial potential, be proactive and creative team players, develop business contacts and/or want to start their own business. The knowledge and skills acquired at the university postgraduate specialist study in Entrepreneurship enable the development of entrepreneurial capacity at the individual level (proactive attitude towards changes, creative and innovative behavior in identifying problems and searching for solutions), thus contributing to the strengthening of institutional entrepreneurial capacity and competitiveness.
